Lyrics of song I would do anything for love by Meat Loaf

And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
Oh no no way
I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won’t do that;
No I won’t do that,

Some days it don't come easy
Some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all
And these are the days that never end

Some nights you breathe fire
Some nights your carved in ice
Some nights your like nothing I've ever seen before, Or will again

Maybe I’m crazy, But it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me;
No one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true
You better believe it!

That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there until the final act
I would do anything for love
And I'll take a Vow and Seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way - Tonight
I would do anything for love
But I won’t do that,
No I won’t do that

I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won’t do that

Some days I pray for Silence
Some days I pray for Soul
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll.

Some nights I lose the feeling,
Some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls.

Maybe I'm lonely, And that's all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only, The one and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true - You better believe it
That I would do anything for love
And you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love
And there'll never be no turning back

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you
So long - So long - I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won’t do that,
No I won’t do that

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won’t do that

But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Every night of my life No Way

I would do anything for love
But I won’t do that,
No I won’t do that

Girl: Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it a little less cold?

Boy: I can do that
I can do that

Girl: Will you hold me sacred?
Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it a little less old?

Boy: I can do that
I can do that

Girl: Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands?
Can you build an Emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something that I can take home?

Boy: I can do that
I can do that

Girl: Will you cater to every fantasy that I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot - ?
Will you take me to places that I've never known?

Boy: I can do that
I can do that

Girl: Afert a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude, And a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

Boy: I won’t do that
I won’t do that

Girl: I know the territory - I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later you'll be screwing around

Boy: I won’t do that
I won’t do that

Anything for love, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won’t do that, I won’t do that
